Created attachment 168137 [details] test case UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_7_5) AppleWebKit/536.26.14 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/6.0.1 Safari/536.26.14 Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Run the attached test case. What is the expected behavior? The alert dialog shows "Number of head tags: 1" What went wrong? Instead, the alert dialog shows "Number of head tags: 4". Apparently setting the outerHTML of the body element will add extra <head> tags to the DOM.

Sounds like we're doing what the spec asks. It's not that big a deal to end up with more than one <head> element. Please re-open this bug if this is causing a problem on a real web site.
